This was my first effort at this contest as a single operator, and the first
time I've operated the January contest in several years. I was surprised at
how good the low bands were - I should have taken more off-time during the
daylight. On three occasions, I had someone in my skip zone slide onto my
frequency and gradually erode my rate. I'm not really sure what to do about
that except recognize earlier that it's happening and just move or take an
off-time or something.
I should be more aggressive about moving multipliers, and I need to figure
out how to make about 10 more QSOs an hour.
